Maybe Winchester got keyed up when Gentleman Chester moved up on his outside, but he definitely got a much hastier trip than Grand Couturier. Like I said, the winner might have won anyway, but he's not a "much better animal", at least not this year.
exactly the needless duel with thazambino.. was about the best thing that could have happened to GC other than Chop Chop freelancing the pace away from the expected plodder's delight.
GC hasn't shown much lately to prove he is an exceptional animal.
Winchester may have run better today, i haven't reviewed it yet, im busy watching the bears make awful decisions
